Chapter 86: A Place of Great Calamity

  It looks like a residential house, but I don't know why it hasn't been developed or utilized. Looking around, there are two rooms and one living room, the windows are clean and tidy, and on the windowsill, there is a pot of lilies, emitting a faint fragrance.

  "Take a look and see if you're satisfied, what else do you want me to take care of right away?" Yu Min said with a smile.

  "Hmm, this place is nice, how much per day?" Guo Ming asked. With conditions like these, the hotel should at least cost over a thousand, it's a private villa after all!

  "Not expensive, one hundred and eighty a day," Yu Min said with a smile. "Don't worry, my price is absolutely reasonable."

  Well, it's reasonable if there's nothing dirty going on, this is a great deal.

  Yu Min suddenly felt a chill wind blowing onto the back of his neck, and subconsciously turned his head to look, immediately scaring him half to death. A malevolent spirit with a face full of scars stared blankly at him, its right hand constantly tearing off its own facial skin, bright red blood sliding down from its face.

  Yu Min shouted and hastily hid behind Guo Ming, tightly grasping his hand, saying: "Behind you."

  Guo Ming turned around and looked back, but couldn't see anything. "What did you see?" Guo Ming seemed to be a little scared too.

  No, looking again, where else is there a ghostly shadow? Yu Min secretly let out a breath of relief and looked up at the window. It was just after six o'clock, the sky had not yet darkened, but they had already come out. This was getting worse and worse, it seemed like they were becoming more and more ferocious. What's going to happen now?

  This is one's lifelong dream, can't just give up on all this? No way. Came to Shenzhen with a heart full of longing for the dream, spent all one's savings buying these plots to strike gold, didn't expect to not find any gold but instead got cheated by that ruthless boss, and it turns out this is just a haunted house.

  Perhaps with the man's masculine energy, he can suppress those ghosts. To say that she has a heart to harm people is to wrong her, at most she can only be considered selfish. She also lived in that haunted house and from then on would often encounter this confused state. It seems like there isn't a big problem, Yu Xia could only wish in her heart that he won't have any trouble.

  Yu Min left, Guo Ming quietly came to the windowsill and looked out the window. Everything here is indeed rare in this bustling metropolis of Shenzhen.

  A dark shadow flashed behind, and the ghost that Yu Min had just seen appeared again. He walked step by step towards Guo Ming, tore off a piece of skin from his face, stuffed it into his mouth, and then made a loud chewing sound.

  Guo Ming didn't turn his head back, stretched out his hand to break off an orchid flower, and with a flick of his finger in the air, a crimson light appeared, quickly drawing a talisman that was thrust into the orchid.

  The ghost behind was somewhat perplexed, having made such a loud noise, yet the little brat in front still didn't react at all. Could it be that he's deaf? Just as his hands were about to grab onto Guo Ming's neck, Guo Ming happened to walk to one side, causing him to miss and then he saw a delicate and charming orchid. He couldn't help but reach out to touch it, and when his fingertips made contact with the flower, a spell quickly shot out from within and into his brow.

  That ghost didn't react until the talisman entered his body. He suddenly turned around, looked at Guo Ming and said coldly: "You're looking for death."

  As soon as he moved his feet, a blue light emanated from his body, and the eerie blue flames slowly spread out, like a blue lotus flower. The ghost opened its mouth wide, wanting to let out a scream, but found that its throat was stuck with something and couldn't make a sound.

  His limbs were instantly engulfed in blue flames halfway, this is not his pure physical body, but the power of his soul!

  Guo Ming was not a bloodthirsty person, and when the other party could no longer bear it, he withdrew his hand and calmly said, "Speak, why are you causing trouble here?"

  The ghost stared at Guo Ming with a gaze full of intense hatred, cursing: "You have such a ruthless heart, I was just trying to scare you, but you actually destroyed half of my divine soul."

  With a swish, the ghost's recondensed body wavered, almost dispersing into nothingness. Guo Ming's eyes shot out dazzling divine light, and his aura slowly spread out as he coldly said: "All things in heaven and earth have their own principles; you're a yin spirit, why don't you enter the cycle of reincarnation?"

  "Hum, once in reincarnation all memories turn to dust in the blink of an eye, who knows what the next life will be like, still carefree and at ease in the mortal world, that ghost doesn't bother to say."

  "Are you trying to force me to kill you?" Guo Ming's eyebrow twitched upwards, a blue flame erupting in his hand as he spoke in a cold voice.

  That ghost suddenly remembered that his life was still in someone else's hands, and his face changed as he said: "Don't try to scare me, I'm not your opponent, but that doesn't mean no one can control you. The Ghost King will arrive tonight, I advise you to leave early, otherwise, you'll definitely be scattered."

  "Ghost King? Guo Ming's heart stirred. What was it about this place that even a thousand-year-old ghost like him would covet?"

  "What is your purpose? Guo Ming seemed a bit afraid and said."

  Seeing the other party's shocked expression, the ghost felt a lot more at ease and proudly said: "There is a treasure in this place that will appear tonight at midnight. It's said to be extremely powerful. At that time, all the ghosts will come."

  Whether or not there was a hundred ghosts he didn't know, but he knew that this would certainly make the other party wary and not dare to easily attack him.

  As expected, Guo Ming waved his hand and withdrew the blue flame from his hand, saying: "Forget it, you can go! Tell the Ghost King that as long as he doesn't harm people indiscriminately, I won't interfere with his affairs. Otherwise, I will make him regret it for the rest of his life."

  "You, that ghost obviously doesn't understand where Guo Ming's great confidence comes from, and yet he dares to stay here even after hearing that the King of Ghosts is coming. He took a closer look at his opponent, extremely calm, and even himself was deceived into thinking it was just an ordinary person. Could it be said that he is still hiding in plain sight? With such thoughts, his soul quickly dispersed into thin air, eventually becoming invisible."

  Guo Ming sighed and had a feeling that this matter would inevitably involve him. No way, the Taoist values cause and effect the most, since it's already involved, he couldn't just ignore it.

  "Grandpa, I'm so tired," a sweet voice of an eleven or twelve year old little girl said.

  "Heh heh, alright, let's take a rest. Look, there's an inn up ahead, let's go take a look," said a Daoist priest in his fifties or sixties with a quick smile.

  The attire of these two people is absolutely novel and unique nowadays. The old man wears a Taoist robe, holding a flagpole in his hand with several powerful big characters written on it: "Thousand calculations for five hundred years, covering everything without exception; knowing the future for five hundred years, unparalleled in the world."

  The sign was put up with great fanfare, but the believers were few and far between. The old Taoist wore a pair of worn-out flat shoes and pulled along a little girl dressed as a Taoist apprentice towards an inn.

  As soon as he arrived at the hotel entrance, Lao Dao's face changed, and after pinching his fingers for a while, his face looked even more unpleasant.

  The two people's attire naturally attracted many people in the hotel, and Yu Min was one of them. Now, there are fortune tellers who can be counted on, and Hong Kong, which is separated by a river, is even more prosperous, but such grand and magnificent fortune telling is extremely rare.

  "Grandfather, what's wrong? My heart is so tired. Let's go in quickly," said the little girl with a puzzled expression. In her eyes, Grandfather was an immortal being who could do anything, and she rarely saw him look so worried. There was only one thing, it seemed to be because of the Dragon Pulse! She had asked Grandfather about it before, but he always said she was too young and didn't tell her.

  "We can't go in! Something terrible is going to happen here tonight," the old Taoist said solemnly, hastily grabbing his granddaughter's hand.

  Others smiled awkwardly, but Yu Min was different. She had seen ghosts before and hastily stepped forward a few steps to the old Taoist's side, anxiously saying: "Master, please speak inside."

  "This is troublesome, this place is clearly a land of great calamity. In the past, there was a treasure that suppressed it, but now it seems that the treasure has almost been eroded by yin energy. At most three days, this place will become a realm of ghosts. I may not have the ability to deal with them myself, it's better for me to leave quickly."

  Moreover, the boss's wife obviously knew something, how could she not help them after entering?

  "Master Dao, can you bear to see a young woman's life ruined like this? Master Dao, your magical powers are profound, I hope you can save me," Yu Min begged in a low voice.

  The little girl looked up and also sensed something was off, saying in a low voice: "Grandfather, perhaps we can use the Golden Immortal Demon-Subduing Array to suppress it."

  "What do you know, the Golden Locking Devil Formation? Even the superior Seven Stars Northern Dipper Formation is useless. Tonight, everything here will be shrouded in darkness, a place of great calamity! I, an old Daoist, have traveled south and north for many years, but I've only seen this three times. Who would have thought that I'd encounter one here too?"

  Yu Min listened to what the other party said and was even more convinced, hastily asking for help and begging the Taoist priest to save him.

  Lao Dao didn't dare agree easily, this wasn't a matter of catching a small ghost, it was possible that he himself might end up in trouble.

  Feeling his sleeve being pulled, Lao Dao looked down and saw that Xiao Xin's face was filled with excitement as she whispered, "Grandpa, just agree to what this sister is saying!"

  The old man sighed, how could he not understand Xiner's thoughts? She wasn't trying to help Yu Min, but rather wanted to see those ghostly creatures for herself. In fact, hadn't he been the same way before? His own abilities had been insufficient in the past, and whenever he encountered a place of great evil, he would detour around it. Now that his Five Thunder Talismans were fully refined, perhaps he had the strength to put up a fight.

  Seeing the old Taoist's face reveal a hesitant expression, Yu Min immediately said, "Taoist master, after this matter is settled, I will definitely thank you heavily." Seeing a hint of anger on the other person's face, he hastily explained, "I know that Taoist master despises fame and wealth, and money is an insult to you. But your granddaughter is so lovely and needs money! You must want her to eat well and dress well too!"

  The old man hesitated upon hearing this, indeed, his heart had followed him for so many years, where had he ever enjoyed any blessings? He had a body of Taoist powers, but was unwilling to curry favor with the powerful, otherwise he wouldn't have ended up in such a state. It was just that in his heart, he had a dream, a dream from his ancestors' era! He must complete it. Heart, sigh, this wild girl, never complained, he indeed felt guilty towards her all these years.

  The old man nodded and stretched out his hand, indicating: "Go in and talk about it?"
